That's a good idea. Done by hand, the procedure is quite simple:

1)      In axiom:
        )set output length  20
        )spool cat.vim
        )what cat
        )spool
        )spool dom.vim
        )what dom
        )spool
        )spool op.vim
        )what op
        )spool
        )spool pack.vim
        )what pack
        )spool

2)      clean up top and bottom of every file

3)      Insert vim syntax:

        sed  "s/\(^[a-zA-Z].*$\)/syn keyword axCategories \1/" cat.vim > 
categories.vim
        sed  "s/\(^[a-zA-Z].*$\)/syn keyword axDomain \1/" dom.vim > domains.vim
        sed  "s/\(^[a-zA-Z].*$\)/syn keyword axPackages \1/" pack.vim > 
packages.vim
        sed  "s/\(^[a-zA-Z].*$\)/syn keyword axOperation \1/" op.vim | sed "s/\(^[^s].*$\)/syn 
match axOperation \"\\\\M\1\\\\m\"/"  > operations.vim

Step 3 is  already shell script.
Step 2 can be done if one assumes that the "garbage" in the spool 
is always the same: but is this true for all forks of axiom? I don't know.
Maybe in this step you still need to edit files by hand, at least to check
them.
And what about step 1? How can I start axiom with a input file in a shell
script?
